    Does Scripture support mistletoe?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Ancient pagans revered mistletoe because they believed it increased one’s potency or fertility. Mistletoe is one of those rare plants that actually blooms in the winter. Celtic Druid priests would collect it. The Nordic people believed mistletoe was in fact the sperm or seed of the forest gods. And according to Joe Kovacs and his book Shocked by the Bible, mistletoe berries contain a liquid that resembles human sperm.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is a pagan tradition
    Explanation
    The ancient Nordic people actually ate pig on December 25th in honor of their god, Frey. Frey or Freyr (meaning "lord") is one of the most important gods of Norse paganism. Freyr was associated with farming, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Frey was said to have rode a boar, thus we get the celebration of the pig and consumption of pork.

According to the German encyclopedia, Realencyclopaedie, the word Chrestos can be found on a Mithras painting in the Vatican. Mithras was ancient god served by the Persians and Romans.
